New Task Experience: Uptick's task page has been redesigned with a new layout to help your team work faster and close tasks more efficiently. You can switch to the new view using the "New Task Experience" toggle in the top right of the task page.

The toggle will remain available until the 17th of August. From this date, the old view will no longer be available.
